TRAVELLERS. RIGHTS.
Why It L. Advisable to Duy n Straigh
Ticket When 1re Can't Get Pass.
Ift,IAn,rn

Ticket When oae Can't Get Pass.
ICh.eas,o Horaldl
A man named Myron T. Ely has dono the
public some seryiyc in compiling from
court reports manual of the railway
passengers legal rights. Why, when and
where my a passenger bs elected from q
train is frequently a perplexiag question
for conductors, and the exercise of tho
right is certainly huniliating to passel-
gers.
For instance, it is oas thing to prevent a
drunken or disorderly person or ''bad
character" from boarding a train, and
quite another to cxpel such a one after
being lawfully on board.
But having lawfully allowed a drunken
mau to get on board, he can not be ex.
peeled during the journey unless he misbe-
haves.
Then, too, company may refuse to al.
low passenger to board train without
ticket but if he succeeds in getting aboa rd
he can not be expelled for want of ticket
If he tenders the legal fare
But if you refuse to pay your fare and
the train has been stopped for the purpose
OF putting you of, subsequent offer tc
pay does not give you right to remain
nor take from the conductor the right tc
exclude YOU from the car.
Nor having been nut of do you gain o
right to rc-enter Immediately ON rendering
either the fare or ticket You forfeit
your right to continue on that train
Except that if the train stops at regu
lar station and before being elected taere
the fare is offered, the conductors1nouif
receive it.
II is q familiar rule that in case il is
lawful to expel a passenger, it must be
done with as little violence and force as
possible, and in a manner so as not to in
jurc him.
In some States a statute provides that
the expulsion must be at a regular station
or near come dwelling house. A violation
of such provision makes the company
liable.
You must exhibit or deliver up a ticket
whom properly requested. You can not ride
upon a bogus or improper ticket, nor on
one which has expired" nor OF forged
or stolen ticket, nor yet on one purchased
with counterfeit money. An Illinois de-
cision makes YOU liable to expulsion, with
out redress, if you, having no ticket, re-
fuse to pay fare, even though the fare
asked be more than the price of ticket.
You may be elected for violation OF law,
or for wilful breaches of any reasonable
rules made by the company. You can not
ride on ticket purchased with counter
felt money, if the company's agents are
apprised of that fact.
Where there is no such stat1te recurring
expulsions to be made at some regular
stopping place or near dwelling, the pas
senger may be put OF at any convenient
point, except that he can not be expelled
where or in a way he will be knowingly
exposed to injury.
The moral of all this is to buy clean
ticket; providing you can't get pass, and
then behave yourself.
